We've known about Russian Subway Dogs coming to PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita since late last year, but Spooky Squid Games did announce on the PlayStation Blog that it's coming this year - with some extra friends!
Welcome, comrades! Meet Russian Subway Dogs, a fast-paced action-arcade game inspired by the real-life stray dogs of the Moscow Metro. We have done extensive, totally legal research in order to fine tune this chaotic simulation for what it's like to scavenge for food from Russian commuters.
Lead Designer Miguel Sternberg talked about being able to play as different dogs, including some that are inspired by DrinkBox Studios, and Asteroid Base properties - but the full list is below:
Russian Subway Dogs is planned for PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita later this year.
They Bleed Pixels, the 2D-pixel platformer originally released in 2012 is coming to Switch later this year, its first release on console. The Toronto based developer, Spooky Squid, is also working on Russian Subway Dogs which is out on PC and coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox One this year.
Two Toronto developers have announced they'll be taking to Kickstarter to help fund their indie video games.
The Vita lives! And obviously the PlayStation 4 is doing great, but the Vita lives. Spooky Squid Games is bringing Russian Subway Dogs to PlayStation 4, and Vita next year, alongside a release on Steam and itch.io.
Russian Subway Dogs is a score attack game, featuring stray dogs of the Moscow Metro. You can check out some screenshots and the trailer below - last we heard they tried to get funded on Kickstarter, but sadly didn't make it.
Russian Subway Dogs is simple enough for a puppy to pick up but still packed with challenge. Run and jump along the subway platform. Bark behind people to scare up food and bounce vodka around the stage. Soon you’ll be discovering high level strategies like cooking and eating rival wildlife with vodka explosions!
Russian Subway Dogs is a fast-paced action-arcade game inspired by the real-life stray dogs of the Moscow Metro. Coming to PS4, Vita, Steam and Itch.io in 2018! Find out more at: http://www.russiansubwaydogs.com
The game will be playable at next month's PlayStation Experience, just like Guacamelee 2, and Riverbond, and we should see it in 2018.
As previously announced, Spooky Squid's next game Russian Subway Dogs has hit Kickstarter. There is currently a $50,000 goal, and you can get a copy of a game for as low as $5.00. Some of the other rewards include Alpha access, a key to They Bleed Pixels, and Pixel Art packs.
"Welcome comrades! Meet Russian Subway Dogs, a fast-paced action-arcade game inspired by the real-life stray dogs of the Moscow Metro. We have done extensive, totally legal research in order to fine-tune this chaotic simulation of what it's like to scavenge for food from Russian commuters. Surviving isn't easy when you are dodging volatile vodka, rival dogs, and the rare and dangerous Subway Bear!"
